Hey there, lol. I shouldn’t be writing this at 12:20:59 AM. However… I can’t help but notice I’m number 2 in this list, 🤣:
I can't make this shit up -- doing this thing is actually IMMENSELY fun, lol.

Hi again. I’ve been hearing a few information about Obsidian Quick Add but I really haven’t gotten around to finally trying it. To be fair, I’d been hearing it a lot during the time that I was losing interest in Obsidian and PKM due to the complexity of the new properties system. I’d spent a lot of my time back then learning Obsidian dataview only to realize that what I’d been learning were to become obsolete in the future updates of Obsidian.
Anyways, I encountered a really nice video regarding Quick Add today. Of course, it had to be an NVDH video lol. Not a lot of people could explain complex ideas in Obsidian as quickly and as simply as she could. That’s probably why I enjoy watching her content a lot.
I’ll be trying it out soon and documenting it here on my dailies.

I added another interesting function in my personal espanso:
# **[[dev-2024-05-06|dev-2024-05-06-{{context-here}}]]** | *02:52:26 PM*
I probably would stop writing every single update on my Espanso configuration here, so if you’re interested to see the latest updates on it, feel free to check my GitHub from time to time to stay updated! 🤓

I added the new Obsidian callouts as a set of matches in my Espanso configuration. Here’s an example:
;oTip| Outputs a string that asks for the title of the callout, and then automatically puts the cursor in the content of the callout:>[!TIP] {{title-here}} >

Just a while ago I read Identifying the Twitch That’s Keeping Us Distracted and Stagnant in Life. I learned about what he calls the Twitch:
Transclude of Anthony-Ongaro,-Identifying-the-Twitch-That’s-Keeping-Us-Distracted-and-Stagnant-in-Life#^4b96a5
Just this night as I finished up a little housekeeping, I hopped on to my computer to check my to-do list. Immediately as I sat, I pressed the hotkey for Flow Launcher: alt space. I knew this was wrong, as I went to my computer to look at my to-do list.
And then I got an idea: what if I could keep a log of whenever the Twitch happened, so I could show to everyone just how distracted I am. I know, no one probably cares. Again, I do this public journaling thing for myself:
Please note that I don’t write for anyone here, but myself. I write for myself, which is a huge factor in why you probably wouldn’t understand half of what I would be writing about. Nonetheless, I would like to engage in this project with a Gary Vaynerchuck sort of mindset to document, document, document.

So here it is, my Twitch Log.

I just finished communicating my boundaries to my partner, and I felt immediate relief. It’s nice that I got to finally make boundaries for myself which I would strictly enforce. It’s so great to feel this way, especially when you’d been in a a people-pleaseing mode for the majority of your life.
Just recently I’d been trying to be more precise with what I need. And I know it’s a process — that I won’t immediately get the hang of it. But it’s been a nice journey for me. And by nice, I mean it’s been rocky, and challenging, and at times really stressful. Despite these, it’s still really fulfilling. Communicating what I need, whether it be in the workplace or in my personal life, makes me feel as if I actually existed. As if I had needs and desires of my own — to which a person would say, “Well isn’t that how it’s supposed to be, in the first place?” Well, yeah! I think that’s supposed to be te default for everyone — for them to be capable of communicating their wants and needs. Unfortunately for me, that hasn’t always been the case. And so tonight, I would consider, is a win! 🤓
